My first official concert of my 1,001 days (DMB last month doesn't count since I hadn't started my list then!) was last night, and it was a great way to start out. Green Day at Webster Hall. For those who don't know, that is a RIDICULOUSLY small venue to see such a big band play at and I was one of the lucky 1400 who was able to get a pair of tickets! The concert was 2 hours and consisted of 2 halves; the first half was all songs from their new album, 21st Century Breakdown (with which I am fairly obsessed) and the second half was a free for all, with 3 songs from American Idiot, a few requests, and some all time greatest GD hits.
SET 1:
21st Century Breakdown
Know Your Enemy
East Jesus Nowhere
Before The Lobotomy
Last Of The American Girls
Murder City
Viva La Gloria (Little Girl)
